Sutton police warn of break-ins

SUTTON — Sutton police are warning residents about recent house break-ins and are cautioning residents to take steps, such as keeping all ground-level doors and windows secure.

According to a news release, the break-ins have occurred in the past six to seven weeks, during daytime when residents were at work or school and homes were unoccupied.

More than one break-in has occurred on Dodge Hill Road and Burbank Road.

Police say the suspects appear to be targeting jewelry, so police suggest residents take extra security measures for these valuables, including photographing expensive jewelry for future documentation.

During several of the investigations, police identified neighbors who witnessed the suspect or vehicles at the scene but did not report the information to police at the time. They encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity immediately. At a minimum, residents are encouraged to record license plates of vehicles that appear out of place in their neighborhood.

Anyone with information about these crimes should contact Detective Matthew Bohanan at 508-865-4449.
